‘Bugonia’ Stings on Conspiracies and Ecology

Mother Earth is In Trouble! Yorgos Lanthimos directs some weird kinds of films, even arguably stranger than David Lynch himself. I can’t say I am a fan of Lanthimos’ works, although I have seen a few of his movies (The Lobster, Killing of a Sacred Deer, and Poor Things). I have been impressed by these entries enough to make me want to watch his newest film, Bugonia. Bugonia is … Continue reading ‘Bugonia’ Stings on Conspiracies and Ecology

Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come Review

Here is some funny/concerning/fitting Inside Baseball for our readers: when writing these reviews, I actually write somewhat backwards. I do the Ups And Downs first, then the Overall, and then I come up here to do my preamble and short synopsis. Well today, after finishing the U&D and Overall, I checked the word count just to see where we were, and it was 666. That … Continue reading Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come Review

Wicked: For Good Dips Slightly in Quality

The Darker Half of the Story It’s already been a year since the release of Wicked: Part One, and hype is stronger than ever for the conclusion to the mega-hit two act musical. While the novel will sadly never get a direct adaptation (see my upcoming article on book vs. musical to see why), act 2 of the film should be more than enough to tide … Continue reading Wicked: For Good Dips Slightly in Quality

The Blob (1958) Review

I had a choice to make recently between watching the 1958 The Blob or the 1988 remake thereof. Obviously I ended up going with the original. I’m not nearly as anti-remake as a lot of folks are; I recognize that across Hollywood’s history, there have been several great remade movies. And some have even surpassed the originals! But for this instance, I was following my … Continue reading The Blob (1958) Review

‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ is Repetitive but Enjoyable

Old Testament Father Issues Partway through watching Avatar: Fire and Ash, a scene occurred which immediately caught my attention. Events onscreen blatantly recalled one of the oldest Biblical myths our society has: the story of Abraham and Issac. Curious, I searched online to see if others had noticed the allusion.  They definitely had, as both reviewers and critics had made note of it. Curiously enough, I discovered … Continue reading ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ is Repetitive but Enjoyable
